The problem with everyday 'essentials' is that there can be quite a lot of them. By the time you've got your phone, wallet, keys, pocket knife, lighter, pen, sunglasses, phone charger, work ID lanyard, dog bags and treats etc, it can feel like you’ve got an entire chicken stuffed in each pocket. So how about saddling up with this mini quick pack from Topo Designs instead? You can wear it as a bum bag, sling it across your chest, or just carry it in your hand using the sturdy webbing handles. The 2.5-litre main compartment gives you plenty of space, with an interior hanging pocket to help keep your gear organised. There's also a zippered exterior pocket with a useful key clip, plus two adjustable webbing straps on the bottom that'll allow you to bolt on some extra gear if you need to. Great for city travellers, commuters and runners, it's also got an attachment point for a bike light.
